DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The disclosure will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which embodiments are shown. As those skilled in the art would realize, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the disclosure.

The drawings and description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive, and like reference numerals designate like elements throughout the specification.

The size and thickness of each configuration shown in the drawings are arbitrarily shown for better understanding and ease of description, and the disclosure is not limited thereto. In the drawings, the thickness of layers, films, panels, regions, etc., are exaggerated for clarity. For better understanding and ease of description, the thicknesses of some layers and areas are exaggerated.

Some of the parts which are not associated with the description may not be provided in order to describe embodiments of the disclosure and like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.

As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Throughout the disclosure, the expression “at least one of a, b or c” indicates only a, only b, only c, both a and b, both a and c, both b and c, all of a, b, and c, or variations thereof.

The terms “and” and “or” may be used in the conjunctive or disjunctive sense and may be understood to be equivalent to “and/or.” In the specification and the claims, the phrase “at least one of” is intended to include the meaning of “at least one selected from the group of” for the purpose of its meaning and interpretation. For example, “at least one of A and B” may be understood to mean “A, B, or A and B.”

It will be understood that although the terms “first,” “second,” etc. may be used herein to describe various components, these components should not be limited by these terms. These components are only used to distinguish one component from another. For example, a first element referred to as a first element in one embodiment may be referred to as a second element in another embodiment without departing from the scope of the appended claims. The description of an element as a “first” element may not require or imply the presence of a second element or other elements. The terms “first”, “second”, etc. may also be used herein to differentiate different categories or sets of elements. For conciseness, the terms “first”, “second”, etc. may represent “first-category (or first-set)”, “second-category (or second-set)”, etc., respectively.

As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising” “includes” and/or “including”, “have” and/or “having” are used in this specification, they or it may specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or any combination thereof.

When a layer, film, region, substrate, or area, or element is referred to as being “on” another layer, film, region, substrate, or area, or element, it may be directly on the other film, region, substrate, or area, or element, or intervening films, regions, substrates, or areas, or elements may be present therebetween. Conversely, when a layer, film, region, substrate, or area, or element, is referred to as being “directly on” another layer, film, region, substrate, or area, or element, intervening layers, films, regions, substrates, or areas, may be absent therebetween. Further when a layer, film, region, substrate, or area, or element, is referred to as being “below” another layer, film, region, substrate, or area, or element, it may be directly below the other layer, film, region, substrate, or area, or element, or intervening layers, films, regions, substrates, or areas, or elements, may be present therebetween. Conversely, when a layer, film, region, substrate, or area, or element, is referred to as being “directly below” another layer, film, region, substrate, or area, or element, intervening layers, films, regions, substrates, or areas, or elements may be absent therebetween. Further, “over” or “on” may include positioning on or below an object and does not necessarily imply a direction based upon gravity.

The spatially relative terms “below”, “beneath”, “lower”, “above”, “upper”, or the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe the relations between one element or component and another element or component as illustrated in the drawings. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation, in addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings. For example, in the case where a device illustrated in the drawing is turned over, the device positioned “below” or “beneath” another device may be placed “above” another device. Accordingly, the illustrative term “below” may include both the lower and upper positions. The device may also be oriented in other directions and thus the spatially relative terms may be interpreted differently depending on the orientations

Sizes of components in the drawings may be exaggerated for convenience of explanation. In other words, since sizes and thicknesses of components in the drawings are arbitrarily illustrated for convenience of explanation, the following embodiments are not limited thereto.

Additionally, the terms “overlap” or “overlapped” mean that a first object may be above or below or to a side of a second object, and vice versa. Additionally, the term “overlap” may include layer, stack, face or facing, extending over, covering or partly covering or any other suitable term as would be appreciated and understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. The terms “face” and “facing” mean that a first element may directly or indirectly oppose a second element. In a case in which a third element intervenes between the first and second element, the first and second element may be understood as being indirectly opposed to one another, although still facing each other. When an element is described as ‘not overlapping’ or ‘to not overlap’ another element, this may include that the elements are spaced apart from each other, offset from each other, or set aside from each other or any other suitable term as would be appreciated and understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.

In the specification, an expression such as “A and/or B” indicates A, B, or A and B. Also, an expression such as “at least one of A and B” indicates A, B, or A and B.

In embodiments below, when a component is referred to as being “on a plane,” it is understood that a component is viewed from the top, and when a component is referred to as being “on a schematic cross section,” it is understood that the component is vertically cut and viewed from the side.

It will be understood that when a layer, region, or component is referred to as being “connected” or “coupled” to another layer, region, or component, it may be “directly connected” or “directly coupled” to the other layer, region, or component and/or may be “indirectly connected” or “indirectly coupled” to the other layer, region, or component with other layers, regions, or components interposed therebetween. For example, it will be understood that when a layer, region, or component is referred to as being “electrically connected” or “electrically coupled” to another layer, region, or component, it may be “directly electrically connected” or “directly electrically coupled” to the other layer, region, or component and may be “indirectly electrically connected” or “indirectly electrically coupled” to the other layer, region, or component with other layers, regions, or components interposed therebetween.

Also, when an element is referred to as being “in contact” or “contacted” or the like to another element, the element may be in “electrical contact” or in “physical contact” with another element; or in “indirect contact” or in “direct contact” with another element.

“About” or “approximately” as used herein is inclusive of the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviation for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, considering the measurement in question and the error associated with measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, “about” may mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, 20%, 10%, 5% of the stated value.

In the following examples, the x-axis, the y-axis and the z-axis are not limited to three axes of the rectangular coordinate system, and may be interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis may be perpendicular to one another, or may represent different directions that may not be perpendicular to one another.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which embodiments pertain. In addition, it will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly-used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

A pixel of a display device according to an embodiment will now be described with reference to FIG. 1

FIG. 1 shows an equivalent circuit diagram of a display device according to an embodiment. One pixel PX of the display device according to an embodiment may include transistors T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, and T8 electrically connected to various signal lines 127, 151, 152, 155, 156, 157, 171, 172, and 741, a storage capacitor Cst, a boost capacitor (Cboost), and a light emitting diode (LED).

The display device may include a display area that may display images, and the pixel PX may be arranged or disposed in the display area in various forms.

The inverted scan line 152 may receive a voltage with opposite polarity to a voltage applied to the scan line 151 at the same time as the signal of the scan line 151. For example, in a case that a high voltage is applied to the scan line 151, a low voltage may be applied to the inverted scan line 152. The inverted scan line 152 may transmit an inverted scan signal (GC) to the third transistor T3.

The first emission control line 155 may transmit a first emission control signal EM1 to the fifth transistor T5. The second emission control line 156 may transmit a second emission control signal EM2 to the sixth transistor T6 and the seventh transistor T7.

The common voltage line 741 may apply a common voltage (ELVSS) to a cathode of the light emitting diode (LED). In an embodiment, voltages applied to the driving voltage line 172, the initialization voltage line 127, and the common voltage line 741 may be, respectively, a constant voltage.

A configuration and a connection relationship of the transistors will now be described in detail.

The driving transistor T1 may have a p-type transistor characteristic, and may include a polycrystalline semiconductor. The driving transistor T1 may control a size of a current output to an anode of the light emitting diode (LED) according to the data voltage (DATA) applied to a gate electrode of the driving transistor T1. Brightness of the light emitting diode (LED) may be controlled by the size of a driving current output to the anode of the light emitting diode (LED), so that luminance of the light emitting diode (LED) may be controlled according to the data voltage (DATA) applied to the pixel PX. For this purpose, a first electrode of the driving transistor T1 may receive the driving voltage (ELVDD), and may be electrically connected to the driving voltage line 172 through the fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8. The first electrode of the driving transistor T1 may be electrically connected to a second electrode of the second transistor T2 to receive the data voltage (DATA). The second electrode of the driving transistor T1 may output a current to the light emitting diode (LED), and may be electrically connected to the anode of the light emitting diode (LED) through the sixth transistor T6. The second electrode of the driving transistor T1 may transmit the data voltage (DATA) applied to the first electrode to the third transistor T3. A gate electrode of the driving transistor T1 may be electrically connected to one electrode (hereinafter, a second storage electrode) of the storage capacitor Cst. A voltage at the gate electrode of the driving transistor T1 may change according to the voltage stored in the storage capacitor Cst, and the driving current output by the driving transistor T1 accordingly may change. The storage capacitor Cst may also maintain the voltage at the gate electrode of the driving transistor T1 for one frame.

The second transistor T2 may have a p-type transistor characteristic, and may include a polycrystalline semiconductor. The second transistor T2 may receive the data voltage (DATA) into the pixel PX. A gate electrode of the second transistor T2 may be electrically connected to the scan line 151 and the first electrode of the boost capacitor (Cboost). A first electrode of the second transistor T2 may be electrically connected to the data line 171. A second electrode of the second transistor T2 may be electrically connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T1. In a case that the second transistor T2 is turned on by a low voltage from among the scan signal (GW) transmitted through the scan line 151, the data voltage (DATA) transmitted through the data line 171 may be transmitted to the first electrode of the driving transistor T1.

The third transistor T3 may have an n-type transistor characteristic, and may include an oxide semiconductor. The third transistor T3 may electrically connect the second electrode of the driving transistor T1 and the gate electrode of the driving transistor T1. As a result, the third transistor T3 may transmit a compensation voltage that may be changed in a case that the data voltage (DATA) passes through the driving transistor T1 to the second storage electrode of the storage capacitor Cst. A gate electrode of the third transistor T3 may be electrically connected to the inverted scan line 152, and the first electrode of the third transistor T3 may be electrically connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor T1. A second electrode of the third transistor T3 may be electrically connected to the second storage electrode of the storage capacitor Cst, the gate electrode of the driving transistor T1, and the second electrode of the boost capacitor (Cboost). The third transistor T3 may be turned on by a high voltage from among the inverted scan signal (GC) transmitted through the inverted scan line 152, to electrically connect the gate electrode of the driving transistor T1 and the second electrode of the driving transistor T1, and to transmit the voltage applied to the gate electrode of the driving transistor T1 to the second storage electrode of the storage capacitor Cst and store the same in the storage capacitor Cst.

A gate electrode of the fourth transistor T4 may be electrically connected to the third emission control line 157.

A second electrode of the fourth transistor T4 may be electrically connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor T1, the first electrode of the third transistor T3, and the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6. In a case that the fourth transistor T4 is turned on by the low voltage from among the third emission control signal (EB) transmitted through the third emission control line 157, the first emission control signal EM1 transmitted through the first emission control line 155 may be transmitted to the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6.

The fifth transistor T5 may have a p-type transistor characteristic, and may include a polycrystalline semiconductor. The fifth transistor T5 may transmit the driving voltage (ELVDD) to the driving transistor T1 through the eighth transistor T8. A gate electrode of the fifth transistor T5 may be electrically connected to the first emission control line 155. A first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 may be electrically connected to the driving voltage line 172. A second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 may be electrically connected to the first electrode of the eighth transistor T8.

The sixth transistor T6 may have a p-type transistor characteristic, and may include a polycrystalline semiconductor. The sixth transistor T6 may transmit the driving current output by the driving transistor T1 to the light emitting diode (LED). A gate electrode of the sixth transistor T6 may be electrically connected to the second emission control line 156. A first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 may be electrically connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor T1. A second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 may be electrically connected to the anode of the light emitting diode (LED).

The seventh transistor T7 may have an n-type transistor characteristic, and may include an oxide semiconductor. The seventh transistor T7 may initialize the anode of the light emitting diode (LED). A gate electrode of the seventh transistor T7 may be electrically connected to the first emission control line 155. A first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 may be electrically connected to the anode of the light emitting diode (LED). A second electrode of the seventh transistor T7 may be electrically connected to the initialization voltage line 127. In a case that the seventh transistor T7 is turned on by the high voltage from among the first emission control signal EM1 transmitted through the first emission control line 155, the initialization voltage (VINT) may be applied to the anode of the light emitting diode (LED) to be initialized.

The eighth transistor T8 may have a p-type transistor characteristic, and may include a polycrystalline semiconductor. A gate electrode of the eighth transistor T8 may be electrically connected to the second emission control line 156. A first electrode of the eighth transistor T8 may be electrically connected to the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5. A second electrode of the eighth transistor T8 may be electrically connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T1 and the second electrode of the second transistor T2. In a case that the eighth transistor T8 is turned on by the low voltage from among the second emission control signal EM2 transmitted through the second emission control line 156, the driving voltage (ELVDD) transmitted through the fifth transistor T5 may be transmitted to the first electrode of the driving transistor T1.

It has been described that one pixel PX may include eight transistors T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, and T8, one storage capacitor Cst, and one boost capacitor (Cboost), but the disclosure is not limited thereto, and the number of transistors, the number of capacitors, and their connection relationships are modifiable in various ways.

In an embodiment, the driving transistor T1 may include a polycrystalline semiconductor. The third transistor T3 and the seventh transistor T7 may include oxide semiconductors. The second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, and the eighth transistor T8 may include polycrystalline semiconductors. However, they are not limited thereto, and at least any one of the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, and the eighth transistor T8 may include oxide semiconductors. In an embodiment, the third transistor T3 and the seventh transistor T7 may include semiconductor materials that may be different from the driving transistor T1, so that they may further drive stably and reliability may be improved.

As described above, in a case that a high voltage may be applied to the scan line 151, a low voltage may be applied to the inverted scan line 152, and in a case that a low voltage may be applied to the scan line 151, a high voltage may be applied to the inverted scan line 152. The inverted scan signal (GC) applied to the inverted scan line 152 may include a scan signal (GW) applied to the scan line 151 and an inverted signal, thereby lowering the gate voltage of the driving transistor T1 after the data are programmed. On the contrary, the scan signal (GW) may raise the gate voltage of the driving transistor T1. Hence, in a case that a black voltage is programmed, the black voltage may be reduced. In an embodiment, by positioning the boost capacitor (Cboost) between the scan line 151 that may apply a scan signal (GW) and the gate electrode of the driving transistor T1, the gate voltage of the driving transistor T1 may be increased to thus stably output a black voltage. As capacitance of the boost capacitor (Cboost) increases, the gate voltage of the driving transistor T1 may be further increased.
